Non-Profits

Who you are:

  • Executive Director of an Association that currently does not have a Human Resource Manager or the Human Resource Manager is completely overwhelmed with the amount of work coming at them.
  • You can’t compete with the rest of the business community and it just seems that when you get someone trained they go work for someone else for more money.
  • Your Association is a revolving door with respect to staff turn-over and the employees who do stay with you are experiencing “burn-out”.

Your challenges may include:

  • Creation of policies and procedures – an employee handbook
  • Performance management
  • Establishing a salary administration program that is competitive and fair

Testimonials:

With regard to performance management, I am so pleased with the work that has been completed to date and the progress that we have made as an Agency. The very best part has been the growth of our staff and the new learning that has come their way with respect to good Human Resource practices and new thinking about Human Resource and Performance Management. The fact that the staff are engaged and committed to becoming better Coordinators, Managers and Senior Managers and entering into ‘good conversations’ with their employees throughout the year is a bonus! Thank you for all your hard work and your great ability to drive to outcomes. I hope we get to work with you in the future.

Janet Salopek of Salopek & Associates was very professional and respectful of our agency and the staff with whom she was working. She brought structure to our process thinking; she shared her knowledge well and would seek consultation herself when challenging issues were brought forth. Janet was very efficient, a great communicator and so personable. We learned from each other.
